What
“Securing the OT in a Connected World”
Description
In today’s digital landscape, the boundaries between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) are rapidly fading. This convergence has transformed industrial operations. It brings greater efficiency, real-time visibility, and data-driven decision-making. However, increased connectivity also expands the cyber-attack surface. OT systems are now exposed to threats that were once limited to IT environments.
This session explores how to build a defense-in-depth strategy tailored for OT, aligned with global standards like IEC 62443 and NIST CSF. It emphasizes visibility, segmentation, secure remote access, threat detection, and incident response readiness.
The goal is to help organizations ensure operational continuity, safety, and trust in an era where industrial assets are more connected—and more exposed—than ever before.
